Trans and Black Lesbian Couple Asking For Much Needed Help… please reblog
My girlfriend Yala and I have been struggling for the past year in terms of housing, food and transportation. The place we are currently staying at (for free) is wanting us out by Christmas, and we have no money to get a place of our own atm.
We have both been unemployed for the past couple months, and although we have been searching and applying for jobs regularly, being a mentally ill trans woman makes the job market a hell hole, and we have very little resources when it comes to medication, etc. because we live in Indiana.
Yala has a prospective part time job that she is well qualified for, but we are still waiting to hear back by the end of this week. The only income we have been receiving is from the sporadic and minimal shifts she works at a non-profit museum (under $50 a month).
We have had to sleep on couches covered in cat piss, basement floors covered in human piss, steal food, and endure toxic hard drug environments just to get by, sucking the FUCKING life out of the both of us.
Rent in Indiana can be under $500, so we aren’t asking for much, just enough to give us time to secure jobs, pay for transportation, and help us eat. We understand if you don’t have money to donate, because we don’t have money at all, but it would mean a lot if you shared this.
Thanks & <3
So it’s safe to assume that Yala didn’t get the job so our stability is even more uncertain. Please spread this around again and thanks so much really to everyone who has donated/reblogged
